Viewers are viscerally enticed to dig in to “Pates Baroni” as enthusiastically as its subject digs into his plate of pasta. By Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942), a former caricaturist who became a forerunner of modern advertising, it showcases his technique of using exaggerated colors, subjects and humor to create a vivid memory of the products he painted. In 40 years he produced 1000 cutting-edge posters, leading the Art Deco movement and setting the precedent for today’s advertising techniques.

Called the father of the modern poster, Italian artist Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942) made advertising posters modern and collectible. Cappiello, who was self-taught, began as a caricaturist and escalated to the early 20th century’s most acclaimed European artist. Cleverly linking products with vivid, memorable images, he produced 1,000 imaginative posters for beverages, ballet, literature, plays, travel and music halls in four decades. Leading the Art Deco movement, Cappiello’s techniques are still vital to modern advertising.

The look of the poster was better than expected - I didn't think that you'd be able to see so much detail especially with the brush/pencil strokes. Only problem is I got carried away with the size and it's pretty huge but as some say... bigger is better!!!

Very happy with the purchase. I especially like the shade of red which is what I was looking for and it was exactly as I imagined. [...] The use of plastic rather than glass in the frame took a little getting used to but up on the wall you dont notice the difference.
